ongoing work toward the sequel to To Hunt a Sub, named Twenty-four Days, due out next summer

ongoing work on the first book in a different series I’m working on about the life of earliest man. This book is called Lucy: Story of Man, due out the summer of 2018. Right now, my critique group is helping me with that, one submittal at a time

edited and researched Lucy: Story of Man.That has grabbed my passion at the moment, as well as most of my daily morning and afternoon writing time. I’ve learned that when I can’t let go of a book, don’t. Everything else will wait.

wrote 3-5 posts on each of my three blogs, WordDreams, Ask a Tech Teacher, and USNA or Bust

thought about the upcoming AtoZ Challenge. Yeah, I know that’s not until April, but if I’m going to do it, I’ll need all 30 posts ready by then. So, this week, I trundled through what a good topic would be. Let’s call this ‘research’ for future writing.

visited efriends on social media to support them, check in, and learn something new. I use this as breaks in my writing activities. It rejuvenates me to see what the rest of the world is doing.

attended a webinar in my area of interest, in an effort to keep up to date. This week: Hack the Classroom by Microsoft.

prepared for my online class

My day gets sucked up by The Day Job, then my evenings are spent helping the High School Marching Band my daughter used to be in, or coaching baseball. I used to be able to write in the mornings before work, but that option has kind of evaporated for me.

Jacqui, only you would look at your accomplishments and think they didn’t add up to much. I see a freight load of achievement, and I know you also read like a fiend, about 5 times as many books as I do. You also forgot to mention your writers’ critique group, to which you devote considerable time.
